I have been wondering about this subject myself …. my low doc status limits which postcodes i can buy in , but there is a few properties i have been looking at both in Tassie and rural Vic . I was wondering if buying outright from existing equity, was one way to get around it. Mind you i would want to be fairly sure of a good +ve return to do this . And I am taking about cheapies here , like $70,000 max. Also bare in mind that these postcode lists are being added to all the time. I think it can depend on the connections your mortgage dude has too , i have heard stories about some forbidden postcodes beng allowed because the broker has good knowledge of the area. It does go to show you what REALLY happens behind the scenes…it is not always consistant. I think it depends how your broker presents your case . And some lenders give the brokers a chance to re-submit if they are rejected , while with others if your are knocked back that is it … and you don’t even get to find out why . There is no way i would ever go directly to a lender, i would never have bought my first IP if it wasn’t for my broker, i was studying at the time .
I think the main obstacle in getting these “out of town” loans is with the mortage lenders insurers, ( i’m sure a broker from here will correct me here if i’m wrong) From what i can gather there is only two of them , PMI and GE.
My last loan was fairly complex but with every loan i am learning more about the process, and becoming more confident knowing that i am also involved in that process.
